Panthers OL Bridges, signed this past week for veteran experience, is inactive for Bucs game

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Panthers have deactivated guard Jeremy Bridges and wide receiver David Gettis for their game against the Buccaneers.

The Panthers signed Bridges after allowing seven sacks in last week's 36-14 loss to Denver. He spent most of the season on injured reserve with the Arizona Cardinals before reaching an injury settlement and had been expected to play a significant role against the Bucs.
